Keith got back from his house buying trip and somehow managed to tweak his back. He was walking very gingerly into the school this morning and couldn't bend over. While I was warming up a bit, our Zoom student popped up. I groaned a bit because it meant that I wasn't going to get my private lesson time, but that rotated a bit. Because Keith couldn't do much, he would call me over to demonstrate moves.
My vanity got the better part of me. Imagine me doing demos in my new school! However, while I was doing some of the different kicks, he had to remind me in English and then correct bits and pieces. Giant head deflated.
The theme of the week was Wan Gup which usually means speed control, but this time it meant slow fast. To demonstrate this, I was asked to do my forms tai chi slow. For any of you who go through this exercise on occasion will recognize my problem with this. The more you can concentrate on details the more corrections you have to go through. For me it started at the initial stance and pretty much went downhill. There wasn't much that wasn't pointed out in my forms. Too many questions and corrections.
My bassai got the worst drubbings, but nothing horrible. Easily corrected, but lots to remember.
At the end of class I was to lead the ceremony! My Korean is deplorable, so Keith and Andy were mumbling in the background so I could get it right. I wondered when that would happen to me. I usual mumble along in the beginning of class so I can get the words. Thankfully I've been working on that a bit.
